The reason I wrote this letter is not to express my gratitude to you for saving my life, but because there is still a glimmer of light, a glimmer of hope, and a glimmer of ability to see through the future and distinguish right from wrong in my heart.

In addition, if there are any sudden situations or major changes, I will inform you in a timely manner."

Yu Zhen put the short secret letter aside and couldn't help shaking his head... You guys are putting me under so much pressure by doing this.

This letter seems to say nothing, but it also seems to say everything.

There was no doubt that this letter came from the Senju clan. When Yu Zhen first received this kind of letter, he thought it was Senju Tobirama who was playing tricks again, but after this happened again and again, he finally understood that this was the so-called "people's support".

The key point is that Yu Zhen felt that he had done nothing, so how come several Senju ninjas began to actively reveal the movements of the Senju to him?

For example, the person who wrote this secret letter knew the frequency of quarrels between Senju Butsuma and his son. Without asking, you can tell that this person is definitely not an ordinary ninja.

Could this be considered selling out Senju's interests? Actually, it wasn't, but Senju Fojian certainly didn't think so.

Not to mention Senju Fusuma, even Senju Tobirama would not be happy to see this happen... Who can be happy to see a clan member tip off external forces?

Yuzhen took out a pen and paper and wrote:

"I've received the message. I'm deeply grateful. There's no need to take risks. Following these two young people is like following the future."

He still cared about the other party's safety. Even if this reply letter was intercepted, it would not contain any practical content.

In theory, it is best not to reply to the letter. If you don’t reply, there will be no flaws revealed. But if you don’t reply, how can the writer gain the emotional value of recognition and affirmation?

If it has no emotional value, how can you get someone to write another letter?

After tying the reply letter to the bird's claws, Yuzhen then released it.

"Any other important information today?"

"No, just some common news, such as the intensified conflict between the Uchiha and Senju. This is because Uchiha Madara is unusually active. Without the support of his allies, the Uchiha have gained the upper hand in several battles with the Senju."

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "It's normal."

The young people on the Uchiha side are full of vigor, while the leaders on the Senju side are old-fashioned and hesitant. Can the two sides be the same?

Besides, if they were not at a disadvantage in the battle with Uchiha, why would so many Senju ninjas write letters to Yuzhen?

The Uchiha is fighting alone now, but isn't the Senju also fighting alone? The latter can't arbitrarily control friendly forces like they did during the Hagoromo extermination war... Without a name or status, who would follow you?

Just like many people on Yuzhen's side are willing to sacrifice for Yinghuo Village, but can Yuzhen let them sacrifice for Yugong Yuan? Just kidding, it's not the same thing at all.

Sarutobi and Hinata sacrificed themselves for the Senju? That's a bit too abstract.

This made Yu Zhen a little anxious, so why was Senju Fujian unwilling to contribute his last bit of strength to the Senju clan?

Forget it, it’s the Senju brothers who will suffer anyway.

"Is our attack team still heading north?" he asked Nara Hideyuki.

It is obvious that Yu Zhen is training Nara Hideyuki to be his deputy, so some important information in the organization will be gathered in Hideyuki's hands first.

"Still heading north, the one standing in the way of our troops is the Kuroki Hitomi clan."

The expanded Firefly Village can no longer hide. Hiding at this time would be deceiving itself. Therefore, even if it does not want to do so, the most correct approach for the village is to expand its strength to the maximum in a short period of time.

But Yu Zhen would not consider the east as the direction of the village's expansion. There are Thousand Hands in the east, and the task of sweeping across the world should be given to them.

There is an ancient well to the west and the sea to the south. The only direction of attack for Yinghuo Village is north.

"Kuroki Hitomi... Most of the medical ninjutsu currently used in the village comes from the Kuroki Hitomi clan."

"According to the intelligence we gathered earlier, the Kuroki Hitomi clan is a ninja clan that excels at medical ninjutsu, but is aloof, conservative, and closed-minded... It seems a bit difficult to deal with."

"If we can defeat the enemy without fighting, it would be best to absorb the Kuroki Hitomi clan. However, it seems difficult for a ninja clan with such an ancient heritage to give up its independent name, right?"

Medical ninjas, especially excellent medical ninjas, have always been a scarce resource. Yu Zhen certainly wants to use the Kuroki Hitomi clan for his own purposes, but the reality seems to not allow it.

Nara Hideyuki nodded and said:

"It is said that Kuroki Hitomi's history is not much shorter than that of ninja clans like the Hagoromo clan."

Yuzhen glanced at Nara Hideichi and thought to himself that this kid really learns very quickly and can even speak with hidden meanings.

What does "not slightly shorter than the Hagoromo clan" mean? It means that if the other party is stubborn and unyielding, then their history will be as long as the Hagoromo clan, right?

We are in a difficult situation as we are unwilling to join but also unwilling to die.

Yu Zhen thought about it for a while and finally nodded. He felt that he could accept the other party's attitude.

However, the ninja world is so vast that all kinds of strange things are possible. In the afternoon, Yuzhen received urgent intelligence from the front line.

Yu Zhen suddenly stood up and instructed Nara Hideyuki:

"I'll leave this place in your charge for now. I need to go to the front line as soon as possible."

"Master Yuzhen, you need guards, you need guards..."

However, before Nara Hideyuki could finish his words, Yuzhen's figure had disappeared.

Theoretically, if the leader of an organization goes out, he must bring at least one team of guards with him according to safety regulations. However, Yu Zhen took the lead in violating this rule... He is very anxious now, and the guards are too slow.

In the past, if Yu Zhen needed to move quickly over long distances, he would often use the Mayfly Technique, which was concealed and not slow, but now Yu Zhen can be even faster... He can fly and only needs to activate the Light and Heavy Rock Technique.

It only took him a few hours to reach the front line from Yinghuo Village. After he landed from the sky next to the front-line commander Nara Naoyuki, he immediately asked without waiting for the other party to exchange greetings:

"What's the specific situation?"

"Lord Yuzhen, um... specifically, when we arrived at Kuroki Hitomi's village, before we could shout or take any other action, they had already 'come out in full force'."

"In order not to destroy the village, should we go out and form a battle line to meet the enemy?" Yu Zhen asked.

"No, quite the opposite... They wanted to meet with Master Yuzhen and discuss surrender. Their departure from the village was merely a sign of their 'neutralization'."

If they're not planning on engaging in street fighting, then it's harmless, isn't it?

Yu Zhen wiped his face, which was stiff from the high-altitude wind, and then he reached out and pulled Nara Naoyuki aside, his voice filled with undisguised confusion:

"A thousand-year legacy? A family of medicine? The Kuroki Hitomi clan? Are you sure?"

How come this thousand-year-old ninja slid down faster than the average junior ninja? Was there something wrong?

"It's indeed a bit strange, but Master Yuzhen can first meet their clan leader. The current clan leader of the Kuroki Hitomi clan is called Kuroki Hitomi Pharmacist."

"Alright."

Yuzhen followed Naoyuki Naoyuki to the front of the formation, and then he saw more than a hundred people from the Kuroki Hitomi clan gathered together. Some of them were even tired of standing and sat on the ground in a relaxed manner.

Pharmacist Kuroki Hitomi is very old and looks to be at least eighty or ninety years old. He has a bald head and a face covered with snow-white eyebrows and a beard.

After Yu Zhen came over, he forced himself to open his eyes and observed Yu Zhen carefully... Well, he is strong and reliable, and he is young, which means that his strength naturally has a longer shelf life.

So he decisively picked up his crutches with both hands and raised them high as if to present them to Yuzhen:

"Lord Yuzhen, the Kuroki Hitomi clan surrenders to you and your Firefly Village. We hope to become one of you and contribute a little to the development of your organization."

Yu Zhen: "..."

So damn decisive.

But what do I need your crutch for? Yu Zhen reached out to help the other person up. At this age, he still bends down and bows, and he is not afraid of breaking it.

Although Kuroki Hitomi has a long history, they have always been a functional and auxiliary ninja clan, and their direct combat power is not outstanding, so their actions at this time can be regarded as Western material Wei Junjie.

But should he trust the other party? Yu Zhen was undecided for a moment.

"Master Yuzhen, you don't have to doubt our intentions. We are all pure medical practitioners... According to our ancestral teachings, we must surrender to an organization like Yinghuo Village."

"You guys, this..." Yu Zhen still felt something was wrong.

"Master Yuzhen, do you think how a ninja clan like ours has been able to survive for so long?"

"Ah, I see."

If you had said it earlier, I would have understood it earlier. You are also a ninja clan that is good at surrendering.

"Well, everyone, welcome. We are seriously short of medical personnel, and you will be treated and respected as you deserve... Clan leader, I will introduce you to the Daimyo of Shimizu in Kawagen Country. I believe you will get along very well."

What's going on? There must be someone on our side who has this kind of setting, right? Daimyo Shimizu's surrender syndrome is almost cured, and now there's a new group of patients?

"Daimyo? Okay, I can help you with your health."

Treating the body? I'm afraid it might be cross-infected with the daimyo.

"Everyone, when can you set off? Joining the organization and moving to Firefly Village is certain." Yu Zhen was worried that these guys were pretending to surrender.

But he was judging others by his own standards. Everyone in the Kuroki Hitomi clan was very honest.

"When? Now! Our bags are all packed."

Pharmacist Hitomi Kuroki, who is in her eighties or nineties, is about to embark on a spontaneous journey.

I was born almost a hundred years ago, and now is the age for me to start working hard.

Yu Zhen didn’t know what to say. What was going on?

I just went out for a walk, and ended up getting a Grade A hospital for free. Who can I complain to?

Unbeknownst to Yu Zhen, all gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price. Caught in the middle of a situation, he had no idea he was about to face an assassination, nor did he know that the "medical team" he had picked up would soon be put to good use.

In short, the combat ninjas sent by the Firefly Village were immediately transferred to guard ninjas and began to escort the Kuroki Hitomi clan, who had packed their luggage, to retreat to the Firefly Village in the south.

The team was so large, with many elderly and children, that it was hard not to attract the attention of some people. However, with Yu Zhen personally leading the team and elite ninjas guarding on both sides, there were no accidents along the way.

Not long after, they returned safely to Firefly Village.

The Firefly Village was busy welcoming new members. Knowing that the new members were all medical ninjas, the villagers were particularly enthusiastic.

But at this moment, Yu Zhen received bad news from the "Five Thousand Hands" whose identities and names he did not know:

His beloved friend and relative, Tobirama Senju, suffered serious injuries and the situation seemed to be a little bad.

Not long after, he received a formal request for medical assistance from Hashirama Senju... This must be a desperate attempt to find a cure. The news that the Kuroki Hitomi family had joined the Hotaru Organization could not have spread so quickly.

Senju Tobirama was severely injured. Who could have done this? Yu Zhen was a little confused about what was going on.

But it doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for a thousand years. Senju Tobirama will not die so easily.

Yuzhen brought several high-level medical ninjas including Kuroki Hitomi and prepared to go to the Senju clan to check out the situation.

Chapter 141 Immortal Pillar X2

Yuzhen brought a four-member medical ninja team to the vicinity of the Senju clan village, led by the old pharmacist Mr. Kuroki Hitomi.

There's no way around it. Putting aside his medical skills and a lifetime of medical experience, this old man's appearance alone is very intimidating... He has the demeanor of an "old Chinese doctor in the ninja world," and exudes a demeanor of saving the world from the inside out.

"Master Yuzhen, please wait a moment."

When Yuzhen and his group were about to arrive in front of Senju Village, a team of two Senju ninjas came to meet them.

"Sir, I am Senju Okakoshi, captain of the clan's garrison. Please wait here while I ask Hashirama-sama to greet you."

Yuzhen's reaction was so quick that he immediately reached out to shake hands with the other party. "Hello, Mr. Okakoshi, is it convenient for Lord Hashirama to come and greet you?"

"Of course, our Senju clan is definitely not ignorant of etiquette and morality." Senju Okayue said.

After the two hands were clasped together, Yu Zhen indeed felt the other party's knuckles exert a little more force... Now he confirmed the identity of this person.

Regardless of whether there are five or six heroes in the Senju clan, this Senju Okada is most likely one of them.

Asking Hashirama Senju to welcome Hashirama was ostensibly out of courtesy. When a leader like Hashirama came to the Senju village, the Senju clan should welcome him as someone of equal status.

But actually?

Since Haneki was invited by Hashirama Senju, then Hashirama Senju should be responsible for his safety. Given Hashirama's simple sense of right and wrong and his stubborn mind, there is no doubt about this.

If the Senju clan had any conspiracy against Yuzhen, Senju Hashirama could stop them... Even if they fell out, Hashirama would still be on the moral high ground.

He has the strength and the reason. As long as he stays with Hashirama Senju, Yu Zhen will not be in danger.

What? Someone comes to help you cure your illness, but you want to kill him?

It doesn't make sense. If you really have to face such a situation, don't blame Hashirama Senju for slapping his own father in the face.

Besides, there was someone on Yu Zhen's side who tipped off the news. He looked at Senju Okakoshi's departing back and felt the power of people's support.

In public there is Hashirama Senju, and in secret there are the Five Senju Heroes. For Yu Zhen, coming to the Senju clan is almost like returning home.

After a while, Hashirama Senju hurried to Yuzhen, and Okakoshi Senju and another Thousand Hands ninja were still following behind Hashirama.

"Yuzhen, you arrived just in time."

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war... How's the situation, Tobirama?"

It's impossible for Yuzhen to say that he knew the situation before receiving Hashirama's letter and then made preparations to set off.
